Uneven Set?
« on: January 05, 2008, 09:56:00 PM »
Hello i am working on a hickory pyramid bow and i have a question on set. One limb has 1" of set and the other has 1.5" of set. For the life of me i can't tell a difference in the limbs on the tiller tree. Are some bows just like that or was there a problem earlier that i didn't catch which is showing up now? Should one of these limbs be the top and one the bottom? thanks, Dan.

You may have over stressed one limb more than the other while tillering. Also, with wood bows, sometimes you just don't know. will you post pics of your bow unbraced, braced and full draw?  How does the tiller look at full draw? That is where it matters most.     Pat

Gopher that is extremely common. If the limbs appear balanced when strung and drawn then it should perform just fine.
